The effects of ethyl alcohol in man may be classified into two main groups. The first, consisting of all those symptoms and signs that can be directly attributed to the action of alcohol itself, includes all the features of acute alcohol intoxication. The second group, with which this study is concerned, consists of a wide variety of conditions which do not appear to result directly from the action of alcohol and which may be regarded as secondary complications. They occur only when excess alcohol intake has occurred over a prolonged period.
